The Fuji X-Pro 1 forgoes an optical low-pass filter in favor of a proprietary way of countering false color and moire patterns. The lack of a low-pass filter allows for sharper images, making the X-Pro's 16MP cropped sensor perform more like a full frame 21MP DSLR. The X-Pro 1 also sports optical and electronic viewfinders with magnification options, giving you a "live view" preview of your image in the viewfinder while shooting. The build of the camera harkens back to the film era, with a die-cast aluminum top and base, a leather-like finish, knurled texture on the mode dials, and engravings on the top plate. This camera is ideal for street photography, crowded events, retro enthusiasts, and lightweight general shooting.
